So is that the slammer stand or a regular stand?

Backyard air suspension. You send in measurements and they make it to your specs. It's what I have. Didn't want an electric. Works with stock crossover exhaust.

Is the spring worn out and not holding the legs up tight to the frame?

Nope. I had it for three weeks. Took it off while in Eureka Springs after it levered my rear tire off the ground while cornering.

Hey I am just asking opinions ..... More room for the wife in the garage if the bike is straight up and a actual wheel dock to keep the bike upright is no feasible for me.
I wanted opinions because of the dragging situation. Throwing the 4X4 under the bike in the garage is getting old.

I just installed the EZ up center stand on my 2016 FLHXS and love it. I did go from the 12 in low shocks to the 13 in shocks off an ultra and spoke directly with Wheel Dock when ordering the right stand. I think that is key. For my application it works great. No dragging but I will cautiously go over speed bumps and driveways where ground clearance can decrease.

I'm a hard rider and NEVER dragged the stand on any road ... In and out of certain curbed driveways might but after a couple of times learned to angle the steep curbs ... Never ever dragged it on a road ...

I don't know what to tell you, but there's pieces of that stand all over the roads around Eureka Springs. More than once the rear tire came off the pavement due to that ill-designed thing.
